difficulty from his half articulate speech,
was that he had two papers still unsold

had disposed of his entire stock. An en-

OUT OF DANGER,
The Electric Light at the Clear Grit to be |
Removed to the Bridge, ana Another |
Safeguard Promised.

Aho IAoCIrSc AAShC NJ Cne C1ear Gf1t to be
Removed to the Bridge. ana Another
Safeguard Promised,
At the session OF the Board of County
Commissioners yester lay the subject of
the fencing of the railway cut above the
I Clear Grit was discussed. One OF them
stated that he had dropped a suggestion
in a quarter that would result in a much
more durable fence thar the railroad was
putting up. A billboard man would put
up boards on the north side OF the cut,
which would extend from the EXTRA nee to
the foot bridge and the wagon bridge in the
form OF a wall or either side, which would
make it absolutely impossible for any one
to avoid the straight and narrow path,
The billboard should be a bonanza to
the enterprising gentleman who il 20 put it
up, as out OF gratitude alone the mercan-
tile community whose wagons AID messen-
gers are to be benefited hereby ought to
rent every inch Of space before it is erected.
The great danger arising from this cut
at night has been doubled by the
position OF the electric light
nearest to it, and the mater WAS yester-
day remedied by the Board by the passage
OF the following order: That the electric
light o in operation at the Clear Grit |
mine be Immediately removed to the foot /
bridge over the cut on the railway that |
crosses the road above the Clear Grit mine,
said light to be placed on a pole SO feet
high situated on the south side of the cut
between the foot bridge and the wagon
BRIDGE" The light as at present situated
ca SITS a shadow so intense across the cut |
from the rise in the ground Immediately |
south of 1t that any one is liable to miss
the passenger bridge. Now the light will be
shed exactly where it is most needed, and
with the fencing erected and proposed there
is no further cause for accident from falling
into the cut unless by a wifi act.

he wouldn't swear to the identity. No
word was uttered, 80 he was unable to tell
by the voice. He went back to his cabin
and looked to see if anything had been
stolen, when he missed a sum of money,
over $500. He put on his shoes and went
to !1ermanson's cabin and asked him if he
had been up to his cabin. but the latter of

and retailed the occurrence to the police.

Some mining men and others Influential

discussing the announcement in the Salt

Mountain, to the effect that orders had
been issued by the Alice directory in Salt
Lake to shut down the mine in the neal
future on account OF the improbable
policy Of continuing to work the mine at
the low price Of silver and the high price oil
salt. One of the gentlemen present, who is
in a position to speak authoritatively on
the subject, remarked that the order for
the shut down would go into effect upon
October 1. ''There are" he said, three

will see that they are sincere now, and. as

proposition was advanced by one OF the

CATHOLICISM OR MFIDELITY.

Eloquent and Convincing Lecture BY
Farther Cushnahan on the suhjsct
Last Might.
Father Cushnahan lectured last evening
before the largest congregation that has
assembled in the Roman Catholic church
for many q day. His subject may be en.
titled Catholicism or Infidelity" and it
was treated with the mastery logic and
convincing eloquence for which the talented
gentleman ia famous. It is impossible to
convey an idea Of the ability the lecture
contained in the brief synopsis here pre-.
scented or a 1.-THE of the logic contained in
the arguments advanced. The chain oil
reasoning was close and convincing. and
wal listened to with intense interest by all
present. His line of argument was, taking
the premise that God exists. showing the
relations between God and His creatures
and that the bond that binds them
together is religion;
THE NECESSITY OF RELIGION
developed by the fact that no people have
yet been found existing who did not have
some religion: that consequently religion is
a universal want or void in the human
heart; that God, who created the void,
must have created religion to fill up that
void. Hence there must be a true religion.
That religion Christians call Christianity,
which contains all the truths pertaining to
the supernatural order. There are re-
vealed truths which cannot be understood
by reason, though, since they are truths,
they cannot be in conflict with reason.
The ground, then, upon which we believe
these truths ia the veracity OF God. But
besides the veracity OF God,
WE REQUIRE A WITNESS
t. the fact of revelation, which witness
must be one of four things-Reason, the
Bible, intellectual illumination or a divinely
authorized and commanded corporation
t. teach tho truth of God. The speaker
proved that neither Que of the three first
named agencies could supply the witness
needed. The last the speaker proved be-
yond doubt to be the Catholic Church
alone. A large collection was taken up.
The services were extremely beautiful, the
music being exceptionally well rendered. It
was nearly 10 O'Clock ere the large congre-
CATION dispersed, everyone congratu!ating
himself or herself that they had enjoyed
the privilege OF being present.
